AO R1: Ferrer def. Gremelmayr 6-1 6-7(6) 6-1 6-7(4) 6-4

pics enjoying the aussie summer.

never in doubt.

Pics - the king of five-setters survived once again, but what a start of the year for him, has played only 3 matches and lost already 4 sets after wasting set points (1 Gicquel, 2 Querrey, 1-1 Gremelmayr).

Actually Gremelmayr had great chance to win another set after saving SP but at 4:5 (30-40) in the 5th couldn't finish an easy forehand at the net and quite easy smash in the next stroke :help:

Mug scoreline by Ferrer and certainly soon a fade material for the gamblers. Like the OP stated, there are more important things in life than tennis :p.

It's me or Ferrer was almost crying in the end? :worship:

Has anyone else watched the MP?

What a clown this Gremelmayr.

Still tough going for Pics but a win is a win :hug:

A win is a win, but that not looks good

Pathetic from Ferrer, he is lost out there, total decline during the last season and it continues....

Routine drama for Torito

The highlight of the match was Ferrer screaming at one point: "¡¡¡qué calor tío!!!"

I woke up the whole house :haha:

Good win but he wont last long

A pity Gremelmayr couldn't win it :sad:

Congrats to Ferrer, but he won't go far
